ROCK ISLAND, FRIDAY, AUGUST se, 1887.
Jay-Eye-See.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean of today con-
taIns the following account of Jay-Eye-
Sees great feat on the Freeport track
yesterday:
This has been a great day on the race
track at Taylor's park, One of the largest
crowds ever assembled there on similar
occasion, estimated at 5000, was present
to see the sport. The great attraction of
the day was the race against time by the
King OF the Turf" Jay>Eye See, owned
by J. |. Case, of Racine. When the little
dark brown horse came out TO score he
was greeted with hearty cheers from the
crowd. After being driven to and fro
under the wire for few minutes he was
given the word, and around the track he
went, making warming up heat in 232.
About an hour later he was ready for
the fast mile, and receiving the word go"
he dashed away, and without single
break, he trotted a mile in 2;12i, passing
before the judges stand amid round of
ieafening cheers. The first quarter mile
was made in 34l seconds, the second in
079, and the three. quarters in 80. A
man on u running horse followed close
behind HIM. Taking everything In con
sideration, horsemen said that the mile of
today was as good trial of speed as he
ever made.
The afternoon was cloudy. damp and
more or less chilly. Altogether poor
day for making fast time on the race
track. Edwin Bither, driver of the little
horse, was very much pleased, and said
| to the Inter Ocean correspondent that
| considering this WAS as good a mile as
! Jay Eye>See ever made, and he knows
what he is talking about. As a token OF
| appreciation tor the efforL he made TO
| show fast time, large and beautiful
wreath OF rare cut flowers. and basket
of flowers, were presented to Mr.. BitheT
on the track, with the compliments OF
| Miss Louise Taylor, sister of John
| B. Taylor, owner of the beautiful
park where the races took place The
wreath was put over Mr. Blther's head as
he sat bthlnd the Turf King, and after
extending his thanks to the lady for the
| gift, he drove away amid the shouts Of
good will from admiriug thousands.
This WAS jay Eyc>Sec S first appearance
before the public since three years ago
this fall, and as II consequence the sport
Ing world will hail with delight the fact
that ;he western racer is still rs sound as
bullet and even better horse than ever
| before. Ga good day there is no doubt
that Jay Eye-See can beat his record
of 2:1O without hurting himself at all.
After his race today he was not the least
bit worried, aud could have gone another
mile Just as fast an hour later. Among
the lockers on none were more pleased
| than Mr.. and Mrs. J. |. Case, who hardly
expected to see such good time made.
Jack. owned by J. c. Carrigan, OF
| Milwaukee, won the four year old stake
Chanter, owned by S. A Brown, of Kali
amazoo, the 233 trot, and Williams
owned by w A Sannoru, of Sterling the
five year old stske. Diplomacy, owned by
| the Cation stock farm of Joliet, had 1
walk way of the two year old stake.

assesses over and around my neck and throat,

almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferlngs, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, l was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation Of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all

IDENTIFICATION BY MEASUREMENT.

In connection with recent case
of mistaken Identification on the
part of q detective in a London
police court and the question of in
Producing the French system of an
thropometrie, or "man measure
ment," it may be well to state that
the system has been adopted in all
the prisons of France without any
parliamentary vote or grant applied
for. Russia, Italy, Spain, and the
United States have, moreover, given
extensive orders in this country for
anthropometrical instruments of the
special kind invented by M. Al
phonse Bertillon. Great faith is
pinned to the system in France, and
the prison authorities are loud in its
praise. The system was first. put
into practice about three years ago.
NJ. Bertillon, its ingenious patentee,
had long considered that the mere
photographing Of criminals gave UNI
satisfactory results, as after ten
years a mans face underwent a ma
tural change, independently of any
artificial alterations which an able
jailbird might easily effect in his
physiognomy. The inventor of
imam measurement" therefore fell
back on his knowledge of anatomy,
which made him aware that after a
certain age the bone structure of the
human frame did not change. He
therefore took careful measurements
of the heads of criminals, of the
lengths of their left-hand fingers, of
their feet, their outstretched arms,
and their height. He also noted
carefully the color of the pupils of
their eyes, and everything was re-
corded on separate sheets, which
were filled in. The judges d'instruc-
ton, whenever an old-offender, or
ricidiviste, who had been lost sight
of, was brought before them, had
only to turn to the files in order to
make sure of them. The system
had another advantage, inasmuch as
when criminals had been measured
they either left the country altoge-
Their on their liberation from prison,
or made their efforts when again
caught in mischief at concealing
their identity, being quite sure that
they were thoroughly recognizable
by the warders, detectives, or ex-
aiming magistrates London Te-
legraph, Paris Correspondence.
